isobutane
Branched butane variant
Isobutane is a hydrocarbon gas used as a refrigerant, aerosol propellant, and fuel.
It's a structural variant of butane—same atoms arranged differently, making it useful where regular butane won't do.
The canister uses isobutane as a propellant.
It burns cleaner than some alternatives and appears in camping stove fuel blends.
